Omg the "manifestation babes"!🤣 Yes yes yessss: Life is both challenge and ease. If we accept this as true, the question becomes, "How am I relating to this? If it's all a dance, how am I dancing with this?"

the less tidy something is, the more untouched it is: the more it remains the raw, bare materials of your becoming.

after all, if something is only your own, why should you expect someone else to have come along and tidied things up before you?

I am reminded of Jonathan Wells' 'April Morning':

You are living the life

you wanted as if you'd known

what that was but of course

you didn't so you'd groped

toward it feeling for what

you couldn't imagine, what

your hands couldn't tell you,

for what that shape could be.

This Sunday the rain turns cold

again and steady but the window

is slightly open and there is the vaguest

sense of bird song somewhere in the gaps

between the buildings because it's spring

the calendar says and the room where

you are reading is empty yet full

of what loves you and this is the day

that you were born.

these days are your becoming.
